Ten's Bio
Ten does not think that his biographical details are of great
importance, and he releases this information with great reluctance.
His work has a chance of limited survival, his body does not.
Ultimately, his mind, his eyes and hands were only instrumental
in producing this work.
A limited amount of information is available in "Who's Who in
American Art" under the listing of "Ten".

Ten entered this world as a blue baby gasping for air, his face
covered with a veil.
This happened in the isolated rural area of Marienberg in the province
Overijssel in the Netherlands, on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, 1930,
while a severe thunderstorm was raging, and two heifers were killed by lightning
within a mile's distance from home.
Ten has been a permanent resident of the United States since 1955.

all flowers are sex organs, and that there is unfathomable beauty in that.
